Wishing

Today she bleeds her heart out
For a dream that's escaped her grasp
And wears herself down to the bone to keep
A love she could never have.

For should she slacken her efforts
She would risk to incur once more
Absences, time spent out-of-circle
The ones she endured before

The ones she endured that took her,
Her once-sweet love away
Though she was loved with all of her heart
It was clear another had taken her place

And now the girl sits weakened
With hope in her heart to this day
That someday she'll realize 'twas not meant to be
But will never come soon, that day...
